It's easy to like the Chiefs for how great they are. But I really, really, really don't want them anywhere near the Patriots' (or Mahomes near Brady's) dynastic stratosphere. A Super Bowl win this year for them absolutely gets me gravely concerned.

As much as Romo has declined over the last 5 years, when he does his homework like he clearly did this week he can be really good.
I think he does fine with the homework. It gets old how much he gushes over Mahomes, but it’s equal time today — he’s gushing over Jackson too.

I have faith in the NFC

Impressive first half for the Chiefs. If you didn’t follow the NFL all season, you’d have no clue the Ravens were the best team in the league.

I’m truly stunned by how lousy the Ravens look. On both sides of the ball. Gonna be hard for Lamar and Harbaugh to wash the stink off of this one if they don’t rally.

Their loss in the 2019 divisional round was a huge wet fart, and losing decisively at home in the AFCCG in their very next legit playoff run would be a tough result to swallow.

Time of possession is still over two to one in favor of KC. Tends to wear down the defense on the wrong side of that.

I think the Ravens defense has been more than good enough, it's the offense that has been the problem.

Flacco v Harbaugh becoming more lopsided than Brady v Belichick.

Lamar 5/12. Fair or unfair he will never live down his playoff rep unless things get massively better.
Well when you have the AFCCG at home and, outside of one incredible play, you lay a complete egg, yeah, you deserve the criticism. But the game isn' over yet.

I am never going to root for it, but it would be karma for what they did to Brady if Mahomes got

Does SF? They already gagged one SN to Mahomes.
Niners linebackers and DBs so much better than Lions…. More of an answer for Kelce.

CBS is reportedly gonna clear out much of the older studio guard after the SB, so I bet they wanna push Watt as much as is possible this week and during the SB.

I root for the Sixers. I know the basketball forum is full of you Massholes taking shots at Joel Embiid for sitting out games and such, which is why I stay out of it. Because none of that shit matters, and I support everything Nurse and company are doing to get him to the playoffs healthy. Because at this point, ALL THAT MATTERS is what he does then.

The same with Lamar. He's going to win another MVP, deservedly so. But that will matter little to how people rank him among the greats if he can't at least get his team to a Super Bowl, never mind winning one. This second half isn't crucial to his legacy, but he has to start proving himself in the playoffs at some point.

Rooted for the Niners during the Super Bowl after the 1988 season, I guess I can do it again.

I want a Brady Cam inset on key playoff games to see how much it matters to Brady.
